ABSTRACT
Evaluation of Araki H, Tazawa H, Kanaya N, et al. Oncolytic virus-mediated p53 overexpression promotes immunogenic cell death and efficacy of PD-1 blockade in pancreatic cancer. Mol Ther Oncolytics. 2022;273-13.Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive malignancy with poor prognosis. PDAC has a dense, desmoplastic stroma and immunosuppressive microenvironment, which impedes current treatment options. Immunotherapy delivered via oncolytic virotherapy is one potential solution to these barriers. Immune checkpoint inhibitors may facilitate immunogenic cell death by improving immune cell infiltration in cancer cells. PD-1 blockade shows better clinical outcomes for certain cancers. The addition of p53 to stimulate cell cycle arrest remains a novel field of research. The evaluated article by Araki et al. explores the efficacy of PD-1 blockade with oncolytic adenovirus platforms on immunogenic cell death and the possibility of combining PD-1 blockade and p53-activation. In vitro analysis showed increased cell death in multiple cell lines infected with AdV mediating p53 expression. The underlying process may attribute to apoptosis and autophagy, with evidence of increased immunogenic cell death. In vivo models demonstrated improved efficacy of p53-expressing AdV, particularly with the addition of PD-1 blockade which appears to be related to CD8+ cell infiltration.
